I really love all your garden videos! I'm in the process of finding a passion for gardening and you've given me so much inspiration to continue! For that thank you so so much! Excellent and Awesome!!
I haven't planted any bulbs yet in my life, but I am in the learning process and let Laura's videos inspire me with ideas. I love the idea of having a mass of complimentary coloured bulbs come up at the same time in early spring. That would lift my spirits!
Im not able to pay the fee... Im from South Africa, but I subscribed to your channel. Sitting here in the corner of my world my own problems, I try to watch at least one of your videos. Your gardens are beautiful. It's my little escape from my problems. Dunno what I would do without watching these videos. For some reason your way of teaching just makes me imagine i could have a garden like this too 'someday'.
I just love your videos! I'm in zone 9, New Orleans, LA, and love looking forward to adding the things I learn from you in my garden, even if it's a few months later. You and Arron should tour the gardens down here in the south. Maybe in March/April when every thing is in beautiful bloom. Love you!
Thank you so much for this I am 22 years old and I planted my first card in it last year and this year I ordered my bulbs for the spring for Michigan bulbs and I should be getting those by April I’m starting to new rosebushes and more tomatoes cucumbers and a starfish flower which was really unique thank you so much for your positive energy
Laura, you are a huge inspiration, thank you very much for such detailed and full if information tutorials, it's the first time I planted bulbs and they are blooming, Wow my garden looks so pretty. Thank you. Bless you x
Thank you for this simple reminder of how to plant bulbs. I'm doing crocus, grape hyacinths, and mini-iris - and I will plant them in clumps/clusters as your recommend...
Hi Laura! I love your videos and you inspire me and teach me so much about plants! I’m trying bulbs for the first time this year and wanted to know if you need to water them regularly after planting them? How frequently? I live in Northern California and we get rainy season around Jan-April. Thanks!
I'd like to see a video about how to thin out bulbs or other plants, like day lily. Things like - is it absolutely necessary to thin out? When is the best time to thin? etc... thanks! from Phila, PA (zone 7)
I live in an apartment with a balcony. I just removed all my plants for the winter. Can I make new pots with fresh soil and pack them away on my deck for next year? I own an air plant business and you do inspire me :)
Now I know why the la belle époque bulbs are sold out everywhere! LOL I've put it on my calendar for Sept. next year, so they don't all sell out before I get a few. ; ) I'll enjoy them vicariously through you next spring.
can't wait to see the update video on this. they are going to be gorgeous! BTW, I want to do them in a glass container. Any tips? Better yet, a how to video instead 😉?
You're a busy woman and this is an old video but the auger you link to is no longer sold on Lowe's website. I was wondering if you remembered the size? 9 inches long x __?
So.... I don't know anything about bulbs but I really like the idea. Can you plant things on top of that now (I mean obviously something thin enough or annual for the tulips to push through) or do you have to keep it dirt?
Love your videos. I too live in a zone 5 and my husband and I just built a unheated lean-to greenhouse. It’s south facing and is against two solid walls. My question is how cold does it get in your hoop house at night? I was hoping to store some of my potted tulip bulbs and maybe my rosemary plant in there, do you think that would be safe? Thanks, Gina
Dear Laura. I just got 15 inch layer of snow in my garden, and havn't got time to plant my tulips in yet. Is it too late? It's supose to be below freezing all week :( If its too late now, can I store the bulbs to next fall in a dry/ dark place? Thanks Laura!
I just started following your channel and I love your videos. So inspiring!! Im in the Philippines, a tropical country. I would love to plant tulips but I will have to research if we can grow tulips here. Any advice? 😁
I made a HUGE MISTAKE!!!! I watched a video about planting en masse inside mesh bags. I used shredded aspen bedding to keep the bulbs in place. However, I just watched your video and I realized that I planted the bulbs UPSIDE DOWN. The "pointy side" is facing down. Have I just lost 500 bulbs?
I wonder if deer will eat this? I could use this to alternate some of my daffodils side of my house? Would love to know so I can plant this for this coming fall.
I have a question! I hope you will see this! :) So last winter I got a little pot with 3 tulip bulbs in a small pot. I kept them inside, they were beautiful. I want to replant them, just in a bigger pot. How deep should I plant them? Will they bloom next spring aswell, or should I plant them outside? I really hope I can bring them inside. :) Thank you for your answer! By the way I live in Hungary, and I've been following you for ages! :D I'm just about to bring my succulents inside, so they can survive the winter. The temperature here gets about -8°C low, which is about 17 F if I'm correct. :D
Laura, do you have any Lily of the Valley planted anywhere on this new property? If not you really need to get some out there. It's so gorgeous. I've more than I need, the house I moved into came with it. LoL I love the stuff though so it's all good. =) 🌾 Merry meet 🌿
I wish I had seen this video one week earlier, because I have planted half of my bulbs already and I think they are too close. Wondering if that will kill them?
I'm just starting out and I've been looking all over y to try and find people who plant bulbs by hand because I cannot afford an auger at the moment. come up and I found ZERO. Could you please expound on how you used to do it before you got your auger? Thank you
Any recommendations for seeds starting flowers? Oh and i keep getting termites and weird tiny white worms that eat my roots! Is there a natural way to get rid of them? I bought organic pesticide/fungicide spray just in case.
Would planting bulbs around Thanksgiving be too late? I live in a zone 5. Right now I'm away at college and I am the family gardener with too many plans for our new home.
thats weird some people say not to fertilize some plants bushes trees when first transplant so im wondering why we wld do that w a bulb maybe becuz its sealed ,
Any one knw which seeds company ships bulbs to India.. I tried all of resources they refused to ship in India bcz of custom issues.. Some peony varieties and Ranuculas are not available here..
Small animal and prey repellant. It's this spray they sell at some garden centers that animals like squirrels and deer don't like the smell of, and it's been decently effective at repelling squirrels in my garden when I remember to spray it often. The instructions usually say that for bulbs you should spray the bulb itself as well as any new growth.
I've heard of tons of suggestions, but don't have pests so I don't use them. plant them surrounded by very cheap unused kitty litter. It helps with water retention and deer hate it, so it may work on varmints. I've also heard of sprinkling cayenne pepper on the flower bed after planting to keep critters away, but you'd have to reapply it every few weeks and every time after it rains. I've also heard of people planting the bulbs surrounded by old sugar gum tree husks or other pointy fauna.
A machine gun! 😅 no i m juste kidding, you can put a "wire chicken fence" over the bulb, under the first layer of soil to hide it. The hole are big enough to let the plant come out but squirel wont be able to get to the bulb. You can also buy pruduct for keeping animal away or make your own mixture with water, garlic and hot pepper that you let 24h before you spray on the ground. You will have to spray again every week and after each rain.
Splendide ....certains me disaient que le bougainvillier porte malheur .....c peut être de la jalousie ......Et qd je pense que j’ai arraché tous mes boungainvilliers qui avaient plus d’épines que de fleurs. !!!
Omg, you just took my anxiety completely away and replaced it with sheer excitement about planting my first bulbs on Monday!!!! Thank you!!

Thank you for your cheerful & inspiring videos. Your advice on using the auger saved me so much time & effort! Planted 340 tulips & daffodils!

Best channel for bulb planting ever!!! Thank you 🙏
I agree plant in mass , always looks so beautiful
Yup!! Just made a 400 bulb order from Colorblends(all because of you). Can’t wait!!!!!!!
I have never planted bulbs. I have so much to do this year to get the garden put to bed for winter but maybe next year. Great tutorial.
Carla Radke 🌑qqqqwqwa.
I just love your videos!
I'm in zone 9, New Orleans, LA, and love looking forward to adding the things I learn from you in my garden, even if it's a few months later.
You and Arron should tour the gardens down here in the south. Maybe in March/April when every thing is in beautiful bloom. Love you!
Thank you so much for this I am 22 years old and I planted my first card in it last year and this year I ordered my bulbs for the spring for Michigan bulbs and I should be getting those by April I’m starting to new rosebushes and more tomatoes cucumbers and a starfish flower which was really unique thank you so much for your positive energy
love the color of that tulip!!!!
Thanks for the tips. Those tulips are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see them in spring!
Laura, you are a huge inspiration, thank you very much for such detailed and full if information tutorials, it's the first time I planted bulbs and they are blooming, Wow my garden looks so pretty. Thank you. Bless you x
Thank you for telling us to do the pointy side up. That was my question!! xo
Loved this! I just a similar video to this but used my soil science background th-cam.com/video/G0pZJRCjpzY/w-d-xo.html
Im so jelly of your beautiful garden and home!
Thank you for this simple reminder of how to plant bulbs. I'm doing crocus, grape hyacinths, and mini-iris - and I will plant them in clumps/clusters as your recommend...
I found your channel and just wanted to say, you're awesome!!!
Wow! This is perfect for my gardeners guide list! Thank you!
I've got some La Belle Époque tulips too 😄 I absolutely love their color 😍
Hi. Thank for this video. You are lovely. My question is how do you mark your spot from where you already planted?
What an ingenious idea, Thanks for the tip.
Ow, that is amazing. Thank you for the advices, 😱😘☺️
That's going to look gorgeous in the Spring! I'm definitely going to have to get some of those tulips.
Hi thank for the fertilizer tip. What are you using once the bulbs have bloomed and for the remainder of their lifecycle? And when do you apply?
I planted this weekend , the tulips mix color & the double daffodils under my trees ✌🏼️
Hi Laura! I love your videos and you inspire me and teach me so much about plants! I’m trying bulbs for the first time this year and wanted to know if you need to water them regularly after planting them? How frequently?

I had a similar question except I'm in Virginia
Thank you very much.

Very informative, well made video.
Thank you.
Thank you!
This sooo helpful thank you soo much🙏🏾
Would be great to see them flowering in your video
Would it be a bad idea to plant something over it?
I live in an apartment with a balcony. I just removed all my plants for the winter. Can I make new pots with fresh soil and pack them away on my deck for next year? I own an air plant business and you do inspire me :)

This was so helpful :-) thanks so much for sharing Laura and sending tons of love and happy growing from Ireland XXXX
V nice series it's v helpful for me. Thanks a lot
can't wait to see the update video on this. they are going to be gorgeous! BTW, I want to do them in a glass container. Any tips? Better yet, a how to video instead 😉?
Nice job Laura, gotta try the espuma.
Thank you so much... I really appreciate your idea..

Thanks and you are so pretty!! Your hair!! Akkk! :)
So what do you do after they bloom in the spring and die back. Do they look horrible? Can you plant something on top of them...like annuals?
I remove the rock and the weed block, then I add some new top soil, place the bulbs, add new dirt, then I add the rocks back.
hi!again... I would be so grateful if you could make a video on how to grow & care for daisy n daffodils..
thanking you

Now is the time to do it? When? After the last frost? After the first frost?
Bulbs are planted in autum, before the first frost.
I wonder if deer will eat this? I could use this to alternate some of my daffodils side of my house? Would love to know so I can plant this for this coming fall.
I have a question! I hope you will see this! :)

Do you plant Allium bulbs? I think they add a touch of whimsy to the garden! I added them to mine last year!
I've never planted bulbs before but I think I will try it out this fall! Is it best to wait after the first frost or get them in before? (Zone 5!)
so after you plant them do you water them daily or how does that go? Also do you have to drill holes for it?
What happened to the stacked tulips in those huge boxes that you had at your old house?
When you start planting the bulbs like tulips, daffodils, allium etc
can I plant tulips right now in southern California? cause if we have a warm December then cooler January will that hurt them?
Laura, do you have any Lily of the Valley planted anywhere on this new property? If not you really need to get some out there. It's so gorgeous. I've more than I need, the house I moved into came with it. LoL I love the stuff though so it's all good. =)

wow awesome video where did you get those beautiful blurbs from l would love to get some
I bought some bulbs from Walmart and it is late June, is it too late to plant these bulbs? Will they keep until the fall?
I purchased some bulbs last year that I never had a chance to plant. How can I tell if they are still good?
where do you buy your bulbs? peony for example?
How do you keep the squirrels and other rodents from digging them up? They live in abundance outside my apt.
PowerLady One Squirrels hate Bloodmeal you can get it from Lowe’s,etc.
Would planting bulbs around Thanksgiving be too late? I live in a zone 5.
Right now I'm away at college and I am the family gardener with too many plans for our new home.
what do you do with the foliage after the blooms are spent? do you just cut them back to the ground?
Dont cut the foliage, or wait until they get yellow. The foliage is important to accumulate energy to the bulb for blooming the next year.
I wish espoma organic bulbs tone is available in our country philippines
Can i plant daffodils in spring???
Hey Laura do you ever plant hyacinths?
don't forget to update us!!!
Hi...could you recommend an online store where I can purchase some bulbs??
Is it okay to plant bulb during summer??.... Im leaving in a tropical country and im NEW to gardening.. Tnx!
It depends on the bulb. Different bulbs are planted in different seasons.
thats weird some people say not to fertilize some plants bushes trees when first transplant so im wondering why we wld do that w a bulb maybe becuz its sealed ,
Any one knw which seeds company ships bulbs to India.. I tried all of resources they refused to ship in India bcz of custom issues.. Some peony varieties and Ranuculas are not available here..
I want to plant bulbs. But I live in the high desert and anything and everything gets demolished from rabbits and varmints. Any suggestions
I live in a zone 7 in California
Amber Davis you could force them indoors

a shot gun and chicken wire ha maybe you could raise the beds somehow off the ground level waist high , i put alot of my shit on my deck
All about daylilies
What do u do to keep the squirrels from digging them up?

plz show its update
How deep do you plant bulbs?
It s about 2 1/2 time the bulb size, so the bulb will be cover with 1 and a half of soil.
I live in an area that has temperatures above 30°c....so how should I plant these bulbs??
You can plant this in India after diwali
Do you water them after you plant them, or no?
Yes its better to water them.
Tu am youuuuu
안녕하세요 잘보고갑니다 감사합니다 👍 👍
Do I water them after I cover them?
You water them once after covering and then not again until they pop up in spring. Then only water when the topsoil appears dry.
Where do the bulbs come from?
They are store brought
You are so beautiful I love your hair color and your eyes your husband is very lucky to have you and be able to look into those lovely eyes every day
Can we plant bulbs in pots ?
naildiva3810 yes you can just put some burlap around the pot if you get really cold temps where you live
:-( the la belle époque are sold out! *crying*
What if we don't have fertilizer
Do you sell bulbs
i planted bulbs and they never came up. what happened? they are canna lily tropicana.
Katherine Frizzell they probably didn't make it through the frost, cannas like warmer temperatures so low temperatures could kill them
I have clay soil, but 96 bulbs. What do I do? 😩😂
You work a bunch of fresh potting soil, sand, and perilite into your flower bed.
